data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4>#### Lemon Curd:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-1\">In a saucepan, bring about 2 inches of water to a simmer.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a bowl that can sit on top of the saucepan without touching the water, add lemon juice, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and salt. Whisk continuously over the simmering water for 10-12 minutes until thick (or until it reaches 180\u00b0F).<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Remove from heat and cool to 140\u00b0F, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Cut the butter into 1-tablespoon pieces. Gradually whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, until fully melted and incorporated.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Once all butter is added, the curd will be pale yellow and thick. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>#### Cupcakes:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Sift together flour, 3\/4 cup of sugar, and salt into a medium bowl.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and 1\/4 cup sugar on medium speed until thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Gradually add water, oil, vanilla, and almond extract, mixing well. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Clean the mixer bowl and whisk. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1\/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Gradually fold in dry ingredients, about 1 cup at a time, until fully incorporated.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Divide batter among cupcake liners. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">Cool completely on a wire rack, about 25 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>#### Meringue Frosting:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">Using a double boiler or a bowl over a pan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-14\">Remove from heat and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy. Add vanilla and transfer to a piping bag with a tip of your choice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>#### Assembly:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-15\">Create a 1\/2-inch hole in the center of each cupcake and fill with lemon curd.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-16\">Pipe meringue frosting on top of each cupcake.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-17\">Toast the meringue with a kitchen torch until golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, place cupcakes under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr

id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a bowl that can sit on top of the saucepan without touching the water, add lemon juice, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and salt. Whisk continuously over the simmering water for 10-12 minutes until thick (or until it reaches 180\u00b0F).<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Remove from heat and cool to 140\u00b0F, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Cut the butter into 1-tablespoon pieces. Gradually whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, until fully melted and incorporated.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Once all butter is added, the curd will be pale yellow and thick. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>#### Cupcakes:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Sift together flour, 3\/4 cup of sugar, and salt into a medium bowl.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and 1\/4 cup sugar on medium speed until thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Gradually add water, oil, vanilla, and almond extract, mixing well. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Clean the mixer bowl and whisk. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1\/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Gradually fold in dry ingredients, about 1 cup at a time, until fully incorporated.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Divide batter among cupcake liners. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">Cool completely on a wire rack, about 25 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>#### Meringue Frosting:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">Using a double boiler or a bowl over a pan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-14\">Remove from heat and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy. Add vanilla and transfer to a piping bag with a tip of your choice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>#### Assembly:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-15\">Create a 1\/2-inch hole in the center of each cupcake and fill with lemon curd.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-16\">Pipe meringue frosting on top of each cupcake.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-17\">Toast the meringue with a kitchen torch until golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, place cupcakes under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t<footer class=\"tasty-recipes-entry-footer\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"svg-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-icon-color.color\"><use href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-instagram\"><\/use><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-copy\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-heading-color.color h3-transform.text-transform footer-heading.innerText\">Did you make this recipe?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-description-color.color footer-description.innerHTML\"><p>Share a photo and tag us \u2014 we can’t wait to see what you’ve made!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lemon meringue pie meets cupcakes in these incredible lemon curd-filled cupcakes with toasted meringue icing.
